Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I cannot find a compelling reason to buy anything in S45vn, unless it eventually replaces both S30v and S35vn.

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I usually buy mules. When I acquire other fixed blade or folder in same steel, I now let the mule go. I have two fixed blades and one folder in S45VN so I'm likely passing on this one. If I was to get one, it would be for a gift to someone else I know.

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I have some experience with S45VN so I'll only be buying one to compare to my other Mules. Hopefully with S45VN becoming a bit more common right now, maybe that will allow most of the people who want one to get one.
With exotic steel's becoming all the rage these days, I'm so happy that the Mule Team is back. It's so much easier to get a feel for a steel's edge retention, toughness, and sharpening properties when you're working with a platform that gets rid of so many variables. :D

Well, phoo. This poll was not even close to predictive.

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I am late to this. But I bought a S45vn mule today! Will be my first S45vn blade, first mule and first fixed blade. Also got the boltaron sheath for it. I'll try some paracord scales on it first.
Probably won't give the best comparative info as the only "premium" steel I have is a s90v. But I plan on using the mule for food prep, fishing/camping purposes. Can compare with my vg10 shun kitchen knives.

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
How did they sell out so fast? I was parked on the MULE TEAM™ 31 CPM® S45VN page and was hitting refresh ( F5 ) as the minutes got close to then past 9:00 mt (8:00am pacific) and it goes from coming soon straight to SOLD OUT after a refresh.
Was I on the wrong page? I don't have the fastest connection speed but man - I blinked and they were gone.

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I was at the SFO purchasing mine in person and, when checking out at 9:11 mst, heard the staff say that they were all sold out! 11 Minutes! Wow!

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I wanted a S45VN mule because it seems that a couple high end knife manufacturers, (CRK, Hinderer) are moving from S35VN. I don't know if Spyderco will move from S30 and S35 and will become replaced. I want to stay ahead of the game, if I can with sharpening and bevel angles.

Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I got on and was refreshing starting at 7:59am PST, once it actually got to 8am it took a very long time for it to actually move from screen to screen. I was finally able to check out 8:05. I'm glad I got on early lol
Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I think they made the page live but didn't add stock until right at the start time so for a little bit before start time while the page was active but no stock added, it said "Sold Out". I saw the same thing but refreshed again and it was available.z4vdBt wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:03 pmHow did they sell out so fast?

I was going to order 2, one for a gift, but decided to only order 1 and leave the other one for someone else. Now I see them being flipped on Ebay and kind of wish I would have ordered 2 and possibly kept one out of the hands of a flipper. But I'll just soothe my conscience with the thought that some Spydie fan got the one I left.
Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
Man... I did not see those flying away so fast.
The secondary market is going to kill me on these.

Ah, so there is a chance lol.
Re: Poll: CPM S45VN Mule
I would have bought 2 but... No unless they're re-releasing, can't do it now.
